A method of handling system information reception for a mobile device having a plurality of connections to a plurality of cells in a wireless communication system comprising a network, the method comprises receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message indicating that one of the plurality of cells is a serving cell from the network, determining the cell indicated by the RRC message as the serving cell of the mobile device, and applying system information of the serving cell.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method of handling system information reception for a mobile device having a plurality of connections to a plurality of cells in a wireless communication system comprising a network, the method comprising: receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message indicating that one of the plurality of cells is a serving cell from the network; determining the cell indicated by the RRC message as the serving cell of the mobile device; and applying non cell specific information of system information of only the serving cell, wherein the non cell specific information includes at least one of an Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS) message, geographical information, and a value of a timer T311 related to the RRC connection re-establishment.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the system information further includes cell specific information for cell connection or measurement related to the plurality of cells.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the geographical information comprises at least one of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) identity list and a tracking area code.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising acquiring system information of at least one of the plurality of cells.
5. The method of claim 1 further comprising acquiring system information of the serving cell.
6. A communication device of a wireless communication system comprising a network for handling system information reception, the communication device having a plurality of connections to a plurality of cells and comprising: means for receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message indicating that one of the plurality of cells is a serving cell from the network; means for determining the cell indicated by the RRC message as the serving cell of the mobile device; and means for applying non cell specific information of system information of only the serving cell, wherein the non cell specific information includes at least one of an Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS) message, geographical information, and a value of a timer T311 related to the RRC connection re-establishment.
7. The communication device of claim 6 , wherein the system information further includes cell specific information for cell connection or measurement related to the plurality of cells.
8. The communication device of claim 7 , wherein the geographical information comprises at least one of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) identity list and a tracking area code.
9. The communication device of claim 6 further comprising: means for acquiring system information of at least one of the plurality of cells.
10. The communication device of claim 6 further comprising: means for acquiring system information of the serving cell.
